I just want to make sure about the hole size I should be using for the subframe mounts. Mine are totally shot. I've seen a mention of 1.5" but wasn't sure it was right. can anyone confirm if that is corect? If anyone has templates for the repair I would love it if you would email them to me. thanks

1.5 is correct. A holesaw will do the job nicely. I have templates. I will need to scan them.I'm not sure if scanning will retain the right size of the template.

The 'kit' is just some washers with a 1.5" center.It doesnt guarantee proper placement of the 'hole'. I did three different subframes with a slab of steel that i got out of a scrap pile for free. Buttwelded it in ground it flush, drilled the hole. Less than a half hour on each mount,undetectable and it was free. I could use that $25 on something i really need.
